Your improvement plan

How your plan is built

Your improvement plan isn't a generic checklist — it's generated from your store's own data. superAEO combines three inputs to decide what to recommend and in what order:

• Your weekly gap report. The prompts where you're losing citations, and which competitors are winning them, tell us exactly where the opportunities are.
• Your 6-dimension Readiness Score. The readiness audit grades your store across six dimensions of AI-answerability, so the plan knows which structural and content weaknesses to target first.
• A deep scan of your live website. superAEO reads your homepage, About page, FAQ, blog, product pages, and your structured-data signals — checking what's actually published today versus what AI engines need to cite you confidently.

From these three inputs it generates a prioritized list of actions tailored to your catalog and your current standing. The plan generates automatically once your first gap report exists — you don't have to trigger it. Because it analyzes your whole site, it can take a minute or two to build the first time.

Reading an action card

Each action in your plan is shown as a card. Every card carries the same set of fields so you can scan the list quickly and decide what to tackle:

• Category. One of four types — Content Gap (a topic or page AI engines expect but can't find), Entity Signal (making your brand recognizable as a distinct entity), Structural Fix (markup, structured data, or page architecture), or Authority Building (signals of trust and credibility that earn citations).
• Priority ranking. Actions are ordered so the highest-leverage work sits at the top of the list.
• What to do. A clear, concrete instruction — not a vague suggestion.
• Why it matters. An explanation tied directly to your data, so you understand which gap or readiness weakness this action closes.

Impact & effort

Knowing what to do isn't enough — you also need to know what's worth your time. Every action is tagged with two estimates:

• Impact — Low, Medium, or High — how much this fix is likely to move your citation rate.
• Effort — Low, Medium, or High — how much work it'll take to ship.

Together these let you pick the quickest wins first. A High-impact, Low-effort action is exactly where you should start; a High-effort, Low-impact one can wait. Sort your week around the top-left of that trade-off and you'll see results fastest.

Tracking your progress

The plan is a living workspace, not a static document. As you work through an action, move it along its status flow so superAEO knows what to re-measure and so your team can see what's in flight:

1. Suggested The action's starting state — recommended, not yet started.
2. In progress You've picked it up and are actively shipping the change.
3. Done The change is live on your store. This tells superAEO to start watching the affected prompts.
4. Verified superAEO has confirmed the change actually moved your citations (see below).

If an action doesn't fit your store or you simply don't plan to do it, you can Dismiss it. Dismissed actions drop out of your active list so the plan stays focused on the work that matters to you.

Verified lift

This is where superAEO stands apart from a generic recommendations engine. Once you mark an action Done, superAEO keeps tracking the prompts that action was meant to influence and re-measures your citation rate on its normal cadence. If your citation rate genuinely improved, the action graduates to Verified — and the card shows you the measured lift, for example +4.2%.

That number isn't a guess or a projection. It's the real, observed change in how often AI engines cite your store on the affected prompts, before versus after your fix.
